Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Lay chicken skin flat on a parchment-lined baking tray and season lightly with salt.
Cover with a second sheet of parchment and weigh down with another heavy tray. Roast 20–25 minutes until golden and completely crisp.
Remove from oven, break into small irregular shards, and set aside on fresh parchment.
Combine sugar and water in a small heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat without stirring until caramel turns deep amber, about 8 minutes.
Remove from heat and let bubbling subside for 30 seconds.
Quickly fold in the crispy chicken skin shards, coating them in caramel.
Pour immediately onto the parchment in a thin layer and spread fast before it sets.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt while still hot. Cool completely, then break into shards and serve.
💡 Chef's Tip
Lay shards over vanilla ice cream or panna cotta for a sophisticated plated dessert that will mystify guests who cannot identify the sweet-savory element.
